I agree with you rigsby, but it doesn't have to be like that regarding how you plasterers present themselves.
I win a lot of my work not because I'm the cheapest, because I'm not, but because I put the effort in, I put a clean polo on with company logo, I don't use my van to price work up, very rarely I price jobs on my way home from work because I look a scruffy ****, take a lot of care in how I present myself to customers.
you do get the Jack the lads, who (thankfuck) I don't have to work near anymore, talking bollox, I can do this I can do that, I had one with me, thick as fook, I asked him if he could rule render, he said yes and 10m of mono ended on floor mixed with mud, his excuse, the straight edge wasn't right, he just didn't have the balls to admit it and let me show him.
its not just about turning up and chucking $hit on wall, gobbing off and acting a c**t anymore.
Why wouldn't you turn up in your van,many times I've priced jobs on the way home and got the job because they know I've been working and they said the other ones who priced it didn't look like plasterers
